Hi Dan,

doesn't look like a 'retropod' to me,

but it does look nice. Isn't the cutoff temp for the motor a little on the low side?
Boy it's nice and warm where you are, so should come hear and feel the warmth.

QuoteI must find a smaller box to house the display.

When I saw the top photo my first thought was "ow de ell iz'y gonna peddle"?

Very good

Luke S · 05, December, 2012 - 16:34:33

Even though it is not original or even looks anything like the original it is defiantly better

Not too sure about the motor temp, but I seem to remember a figure of 70°C. Please don't take this as gospel, Marty's the man to ask.

Hi Dave,

if you go here http://c5alive.co.uk/index.php?com=pages&page=5 you will find the 'Unofficial Service documentation' in PDF or .doc formats.

You will find most of the technical details pertaining to the C5 here.

If you want to take a short-cut and not read everything then you can find the data covering the motor from page four to page seven.
The critical details, on page seven, are 70°C +/- 5°C

Regards. KarlG.

EDIT: It would also pay to include battery protection in your system, this can also be found in the 'Unofficial Service documentation' .

I like it, but do you hit your legs on it ?

Retro Andy.

Yes it looks a good idea but I agree with retro andy does your feet / knees hit it.

Look forward to see the smaller version. keep up with the good mods.

I love it - ive posted before that i was considering something like this before, but never got round to looking into it. Would love to know the cost, and if you have thought about releasing instructions and the software (or selling it).
